Rusty Wallace Racing Experience

After a few laps around a racetrack, humans don’t need coffee to feel awake, and cars don’t need a splash of burnt-rubber-scented cologne to get ready for dates. Feel an adrenaline rush with this Groupon.

Rusty Wallace Racing Experience engages adrenal glands with real-life rubber-burning packages that send speed demons around Iowa Speedway’s tri-oval track. With the shotgun ride-along, need-for-speeders can hop into the passenger seat of a stock car and share three laps’ worth of in-the-action views with a professional driver.

The Qualifier racing experience condenses the pro-racing experience into two hours of intense zooming. After classroom instruction familiarizes soon-to-be drivers with the course’s corners, students get to take the wheel for eight invigorating laps, leaving their hair mussed, their eyes bulging, and their torsos coated in corporate sponsorships.<p>

"Every #wamrider wears a bracelet with a #wishhero's name on it. When they finish riding #300miles and cross the #finishline their #wishhero puts their medal around their neck! Our #volunteers get them too! I can't wait to meet BJ and hear all about his #wish! #wamtour15 @makeawishmi #instantgoosebumps #powerofawish #inspiring #puremichigan"

"This weekend I finished my second WAM with my family, friends, and Team Alex. I feel so lucky to be part of such a wonderful team and supportive group of people. We raised over 2 million dollars for the wish kids... What an accomplishment! 3 days of biking totally worth it to receive my medal from Sophie! #whatareyouwaitingfor #teamalexwam15"
